Character Submission

Character submission time! Right now I'm offering some spots of your Original Characters to be put in game! Post v0.1.0, I will be offering these slots for patrons who pledge 30$ (as per this post) with no limitations. But in this public one, your characters will be limited to one of these guilds.


Rules:
1. One character per person

2. No copyrighted material (e.g. Kirito or someone similar to Kirito will not be accepted)

3. First come first served (While I haven't impose any slot limits for any of these guilds, I reserve the right to stop accepting characters for a particular guild.)

4. If your character is under the age of 18 or look like a prepubescent, they will NOT be depicted or implied in any sort of sexual scenarios.

5. To avoid legal trouble, your version of the character I put in game (and the manga) will be owned by ME. You can use your character elsewhere but you can NOT sue me for any reason for use of your character in Captivity (and its spinoffs, tie-ins or whatever). You can request changes for your Original Character in Captivity, and I will 99.9% of the time make the changes, but I retain all rights and ownership of your character in Captivity.

6. After you submitted your character and I approved it in the replies, send me a pm on LoK or Patreon with your email so I can contact you for additional information for your character. (If you don't do this, I will just write dialogues and relationships with other characters based off of their personalities and my limited knowledge of them.)

========================================================================
Eligible guilds:

Integrity
Leader: Resonance
A core member of Foundation. 60% of its members are max level or near max level. Before The Transference, they participate in raids daily and constantly make it high on the rankings/leaderboards. After The Transference and before the establishment of the Foundation, many of its members patrol Estal City preventing crimes of all sorts.

Kitten Overlords
Leader: Meowtiny
A core member of Foundation. With the guild leader being the spymaster of the Foundation, she handpicks closely trusted members and offer them positions to be spies. Kitten Overlords are rumored to be a roleplaying guild with its requirement of Cat Ears and Cat Tails. Appearance requirements: Cat Ears and Cat Tails.

Ascendit Daemonia
Leader: Maximus
A core member of Foundation. Latin for ascended demons, its guild master have the appearance of a stereotypical mafia old man. Despite his looks, he is unusually kind, even to people who are suspected of bringing him harm. He quickly stabilize the condition of his guild on the day of The Transference, rendering most of its members loyal to him. As a result, Maximus have trouble reeling in its overly protective (or perhaps obsessive) members, despite his unnatural charisma. Prior to The Transference, Ascendit Daemonia are a moderately well known and sized trading guild.

Singularity
Leader: Exo
A core member of Foundation. The guild master of Singularity looks cute and innocent (she's a loli), but for whatever reason after The Transference, she became disturbingly curious intellectually and amoral. While many of its member do not share the same lack of morality, they do whatever they can to help with her research, either purely from the motivation to escape or out of genuine curiosity.

Thirteen Moons
Leader: Metis
A core member of Foundation. A group of like-minded people originated from another game's community founded the guild. Each of its 13 original members are named after one of Jupiter's many moons. They are a niche guild that prides on their building skills and aesthetic sense, and offer their services to other guilds.

https://captivity-hrpg.blogspot.com/2016/09/classes-how-do-they-work.html

Base classes:
Warrior, Magician, Archer, Rogue.

2nd advancement classes (level 30):
Warrior: Paladin, Berseker, Knight, Samurai
Magician: Sorcerer, Summoner, Priest, Esper
Archer: Ranger, Sniper
Rogue: Assassin, Gunslinger, Shinobi

3rd advancement classes (level 80):
Paladin: Spearmaster, Crusader
Berserker: Executioner, Razer
Knight: Swordmaster, Fencer, Guardian
Samurai: Musashi, Ronin

Sorcerer: Elementalist, Weaver
Summoner: Necromancer, Beastmaster
Priest: Miko, Enchanter
Esper: Caster, Mystic

Ranger: Hunter, Vanguard
Sniper: Enforcer, Operator, Blitzer

Assassin: Reaver, Blademaster
Gunslinger: Corsair, Mechanist
Shinobi: Yagyu, Fuma

Note: some classes also have alternate female names. People in Captivity use them interchangeably, but they still function the same. E.g Shinobi/Kunoichi, Sorcerer/Sorceress, Priest/Priestest, Blademaster/Blademistress.

More notes: Due to the unique class design of DragonSong, a class of any advancement can equip any weapons of their base class. A Berserker for example, can equip swords and shields. But most of Berserker's skills can only be used with a greatsword or greataxe. And while a Shinobi can dual wield daggers, they do not gain any advantages from doing so. (More context in the game/manga)

  1. This character submission idea is great! Dev/community interaction is really
    important for me, and this shows you are willing to take ideas from us into your game.

    It's a win/win. You get ideas for free and we can participate, in a small degree, in the game we like.

    I started learning to draw a few weeks ago, so instead of describing my character i'll link my drawing. This way I can practice and you can visualize her.

    I've been lurking here for a few months, decided i'd start posting, so hi. I'm looking foward for the future of Captivity.

    With all that been said, i'll submit my actual character following the form in a few days, when I finish the drawing and think about her personality, etc...

    1. Thanks, glad you decided to drop by and say hi! As I said on LoK, this is like crowdfunding, but on a creative level. It helps free up more time for me to focus on other areas. :3

    1. Blogger unfortunately doesn't allow edits to existing comments, so you'll have to reply to this one. I'll approve it once her personality is written.

    2. I'm done, but instead of writing only her personality I also added a bit of her background story, what turned out to be 2 pages.

      Any email I can use to send the file? or would you prefer a PM in Lok forums?

    3. You can send it to x3Darkie@gmail.com or a PM on LoK. Either's fine.

    1. When I think of short hair, my favourite is a similar hairstyle to Aki Izayoi from Yugioh 5d's without the two fronthair thingy she got there. She would be at her best as a short character but than she would be too similar to Akatsuki. You should try something in between, that should be fine.

      Also pastaland is Italy and thanks!

      Delete
    2. I thought of Akatsuki from Log Horizon after I read this. Not sure if it's a good thing or not. This one's pretty much approved, but is there any particular hairstyle you want and how tall is she?

      Also, I have no idea what pastaland is but your English fine, don't worry about it. :3

      (Accidentally deleted the previous same comment. This is a repost)

      Delete
    3. In that case I'll make her somewhat taller than Akatsuki. I now have this image of her wearing a face mask and only reveals her face when she's resting or something. Do you have any objections to her having a face mask? xD

      I also made some changes to equipment of Shinobis. Do you want to keep her with dual daggers or just a single one? (Shinobi have skills that throws throwing stars and/or knives.)

      Delete
    4. Dual daggers are awesome and I can picture her with a face mask, so yeah!

  4. Character name: Rick Kaiser
    Race: Human
    Sex: Male
    Level:79
    Class: Archer, Sniper
    Preferred weapon: Bolt Action Longshot Rifle
    Guild: Thirteen Moons
    Personality: A friendly, almost fatherly calm demeanor hiding sharp, analytical eyes and a high degree of intellect. He is seldom found inside of town but when seen Mr. Kaiser can normally be found either perusing the local shops with a childish fascination or in the guild casually talking about his 'discoveries' out in the world. Within the guild most would call him eccentric, others flighty, but none deny he is a difficult one to pin down given his interests. On the one hand he has a large degree of fascination in any personal scientific endeavor, on the other he seems to have no qualms about destroying anything he deems as an affront to another's well being. Once, when asked about why he did not choose a magic based class given his interests he simply happily replied," Not enough telescopes." On a separate occasion when asked why he does not join Singularity he brazenly remarked," This line of work allows me meet and work alongside more fascinating people... with less screams of agony." On the field he prefers to remain off beaten paths, gathering and analyzing intel, and relying on high stealth, accuracy, and criticals to ambush unwary prey. Even if his weapon of choice lacks the necessary ability to quickly dispatch most enemies at close range he more than makes up for it in an assortment of (unorthodox) items, skills to hinder enemies, and, if time permitting, a dagger he lovingly calls Butterscotch.
    Appearance: 5'9", lean musculature, light olive skin tone, light green eyes, black roman styled hair and a five o'clock shadow. Dressed more like a cowboy with a light brown poncho and constantly has his rifle slung over his shoulder.

    Yeah, I am not sure if the cowboy get-up is acceptable in this setting but, I figured I would give it a shot regardless, blame Eastwood and Red Dead. XD Also, not sure if a scope on the rifle would be possible given the setting, but I still added the pun in his personality description just in case. On a side note, while I am not one for pornographic games I do give credit and applaud those who genuinely put work into what they make. Given the 'Stuck in virtual world' premise and the introduction screen for character creation I'll most likely support your project once it is more stable. I've witnessed too many talented people on both ends of the indie and professional spectrum give up on a project or launch a final product that was mediocre compared to what they made early on. From what was seen here you are putting in a large amount of work, good luck on your endeavors and take care.

    1. I can make the cowboy and poncho look work. MMOs usually have lorebreaking outfits and shit from cash shops anyway. And DragonSong's universe is basically a mishmash of different cultures not unlike MapleStory. As for the scope, sure, I can make it seem like he broke apart a binocular and ductaped it to his rifle or making a scope from the ground up and attaching it. But I assume there's no need for scopes since Archers have Keen Eye anyway. I've also overhauled the classes. You can update your character if you'd like.

      And thanks! I'm glad people appreciate my work. I can't comment on the people giving up on their project before launching them as there could be many factors as to why they fail. But once again, thank you!

    2. Haha, that duct taping one is ingenious, maybe use rope or some handmade adhesive if going down that route. The reason for the scope though is two fold; just because he wanted it and also to throw people off about whether or not he has an ability like Keen Eye. It is normally a good idea to always keep potential enemies guessing, considering you never know who might be the actual enemy in that world. Hence constantly being away from town while mostly sticking to the shops and Guild Hall whenever he arrives. Anyway, I will stick with him being level 79, leaving him just on the edge of 3rd advancement seems interesting. On a side note: Google+ sucks when posting, it left me as Anonymous last time. T_T

  5. Character name: Leila
    Race: Elf
    Sex: Female
    Level: 100
    Class: Magician/Summoner
    Build: Beastmaster
    Guild: Integrity
    Personality: Leila is a dominant person around the city being known to grind most people beneath her heels. Super fond of sarcasm but if you get to know her you see the angry dominant side is a cover for her natural submissiveness. there's a rumour that she and her beasts get up to lewd activities but no one knows for sure.
    Appearance: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ea/d2/1d/ead21dc3d9bb35ef1241ba808e5be2c4.jpg reference pic, she has slighlty smaller boobs and red hair that hangs to her shoulders. She also wears latex cclothing such as stockings and gloves hehe she's also quite tall and imposing.

    1. Apologies for the late reply. I hate how Google removed the quick summary window from blogspot dashboard. Your character is approved.

      And oh god, that dark elf is from Kuroinu. Amazing hentai anime. Also, please give me some more detailed description or reference pics for her hairstyle and clothing if possible.

  6. Character name: Lily (Yuri)
    Race: Elf
    Sex: Female (female)
    Level: 140
    Class: Miko
    Build: All out healer
    Guild: Singularity
    Personality: Perfectionist lustful serious sage type. Very meticulous, cares for details. Min maxed her build to go all out healer. IRL studious and an adult (around 40 to 50 years old), happy to be in an elf body, sensitive and with looks at her prime while being mature. Likes beautiful intricate things full of details. Is somewhat in a pinch now due to her build not allowing her to go alone anywhere since she is absolutely unable to fight by herself, a side effect of min maxing, and she cannot do anything about it now since she is already max level (though others who do not know think she is a weak newbie, including many guild mates, a misconception she finds helpful so she keeps it as much as possible). Completely lesbian she believes women are supposed to take great care of themselves, dislikes ugly or manly or muscular women (and loli types), cant stand males. Is totally into mature well developed women. Enjoys being in the new world, particularly her new body, the allowed depravity and the opportunity to learn new things, particularly fascinated by the new variety of female avatars and the magic system both of which she is investigating. No inhibitions at all towards women of her type and a complete exhibitionist (her avatar is her masterpiece). Some sparks arise in her relationship with her guild master due to the loli avatar, but they get along due their view on morality and their research. Is super submissive and enjoys bondage, reason why she was playing as a heal slut, she finds being left helplessly restrained to be relaxing. Her room is a cell in the dungeons.

    Appearance: Well developed tall brown skinned female elf with short dark red hair (exposing her neck) and black eyes. Her avatar is her masterpiece with very soft curves, ample tights, large breasts (not excessively large) and distinct soft legs. Does not like covering it with clothes, she views it akin to placing a curtain in front of a masterpiece in an art gallery, at most she uses some accentuating pieces that cant really be called clothes. Has permanently locked metallic bracelets, anklets and a collar, each with a small D shaped ring attached (originally to accentuate the design, now also because she enjoys them and they help with being restrained, not like she would have been able to remove them anyway as they are part of her design, maybe a cosmetic paid for item if you wish for a plausible excuse). She also has a metallic ergonomic and rigid chastity belt she locks on herself when leaving somewhere along male companions or towards some place she is not familiar with and males may be around.

    I am not subscribed to LoK nor Patreon, so I cant pm you there.

    1. Whoo boy, sorry, another hugely delayed reply. I'll say she's approved, yhough I'll have to make a few changes to fit in the worldbuilding (specifically the "permanently locked metallic bracelets, anklets and a collar" thing). Feel free to PM me/find me on Discord if you wish to talk about her design and whatnot.
