Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2005 11:17 pm Post subject: Show Me Your Runes. |
|
|
In the same spirit as the Regiment and Blacksmith topics I thought we could share with each other the Runes we feel our Suikox Persona have and share alttle about it. I guess I'll go first
Head:Wind Rune
What, no Cyclone rune? you ask. We are a strike force there is no need to waste time and arrows if we need to get somewere merly put any encounterd soldiers to sleep and move on. The world is full of stories about gaurds falling on duty allowing prisoner to escape or leaving the general defensless. I'm no mage and don't pretend to be I need spells that can be used under multible conditions and the wind Rune offers the most bang for my potch.
Left Hand:Great Hawk Rune
This rune serves two uses. First it allows me to handle multible foes with relative ease. Second I am able to seperate my self from my unit and post my self in a tree and distract and enemy from the the true location of my men allowing them to complete what ever task is at hand.
Right Hand:DoubleStrike Rune
You never know when your number is going to be called so I try and make every shot count. _________________ Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

Right hand: Resurrection rune, hey, you never know when the power to crush zombies is going to come in handy right?
Edit: Left hand: Clone rune for confusion and overall awesomeness with a sword. _________________

Well I've got two made up runes. Their pretty balanced I would say with the other powerful runes there are.
Head: Ocean: This one is one I made up. I suppose this is allowed. What it basically is the inverse of a water rune. More water-based attack spells.
1-Silver Rain - 100 damage to all
2-Deep Freeze - Causes 100 points of damage for 3 turns on the enemies and anyone there(half field area). Sometimes backfires on caster(25%) causing the same damage. Cannot be stopped once it starts.
3-Reflecting Pool - Basically deflects the next attack back at the enemies. If its a area attack spell it does the same area with the caster as the focal point.
4-Winter Winds - Slows down the opponent and does 500 damage to all enemies
I tried to make it pretty balanced. Not the best attack rune but it gets by.
Left:
Right: Cetus - Basically the attack just like Unicorn, or Great Hawk thats a special attack for a specific weapon type. This one's for tridents. The name is a constellation of the Sea Monster, also known as the whale, Cetus. It leaves me unbalanced but does 1.5X damage.
What can I say, I like being my own character. |

The whole thing starts to go more and more and more like fanfiction. I don't mind when it's actually related to the member's own stats and position like the Regiment Name and Character bio, but Runes have no relevancy at all other than for "eye candy". While yes it gives deeper background to the character, it could easily be included in the bio section.
And no offense to anyone personally, but I just find it unrealistic that a level 8 character has 3 rune slots like that. Then another created their own made up runes getting things even further to Suikoden world (no, using the word "rune" doesn't really make it connected to Suikoden).
But yeah, that's just my two cents. And I hope no one would create a "Your Equipments" thread. _________________

L: Fire (symbolizes my passion)
R: Wind (symbolizes how I fly from one thing to the next, trying to do it all myself)
Only two slots. A Narcisist with three Rune Slots would be too completely awesome to behold! :) _________________

Head: The Funk Rune- Keeps my head in a perpetual state of funk.
Left Hand: Ban-o-matic Rune- Punts the behinds of ingrates till kingdom come.
Right Hand: Admin Rune- Gives me the power to do many horrible, unspeakable things, such as locking this thread unless it becomes a bit more realistic (from a Suikoden perspective). |

Perhaps I should have elaborated. The Ocean one was on a whim because I liked the water element but it wasn't aggresive. It was supposed to be an offspring of the True Water Rune. I thought that it was plausible seeing as how True Runes have created other lesser runes in the past. If it's too far fetched, that I'd be happy to take it off for a more traditional Water Rune. Also, that was just a list to give an idea of a well balanced aggresive form of a water rune. I didn't intend on it being a "fanfiction" idea.
I would have only invented that one but the weapon I use in the role-playing world thats started in Suikox, through regiments and blacksmithery and such, didn't have a good rune for it. So I made a fairly simple version of the Unicorn rune for a trident, seeing as how Suikoden lacks any good trident users (and I hate Guillaime). Sorry if this is too far fetched. I thought that it wasn't too outlandish.
I thought that this was here to get idea's like this. Otherwise it may as well have been that "whats your favorite rune?" topic a while back. Sorry if I over fantasized it a bit.
And the "Your Equipment" thread would be the worst thread ever. Everyone wuold just make a complete powerhouse character. It would be just as bad as a "What does you character look like?" thread. I think this type of thread is more along the lines of seeing the creativity help in those who post here. It does tend to get out of hand sometimes when people start attaching true runes they made up(which is another thread too). Well, thats my two cents and I raise you another penny. No offense intended in this post (some events at church busieness meeting tonight have left me infuriated, so that may be conveyed in my post). If I do convey that rage, I apologize in advance.

Was my stuff a bit too far fetched? I was trying to keep it plausible. I suppose this post was mad late anyways but still. I have no problems chagning it if it is. Perhaps some guidelines are in order to help mantain some suikoden continuity and not to cause some newbie to come see this and go "Where is that rune! Its of godly proportions!". I donno, it's up to the thread maker and the admins I guess. |

Yikes! In my first few days here I think I actually created that thread! Or at least one that encompassed that idea. A few of the stinkers I made in my early days have been (thankfully) stricken from the boards entirely instead of locked and I'm glad to say that one was one of the ones that disappeared. _________________

It's best to ignore me at the moment because I am just on a power trip like a good ol' totalitarian demagogue. |

No offense but that kind of stuff is just whats in someones imagination. I can see where this thread may easily get too off topic and removed from the suikoden reality (woah) but I think if we actually think through what we post it would do just great. Basically with my pics I have the sister runes to the Water and Unicorn, more fitted and catored to my character. Similarly to Phoenix and Falcon, where they did the same thing but were different with the Cetus Rune. I guess the Ocean one was just me trying to bring about the lesser side of the Water Rune, one of power and that is a threat to people rather than something to fall back on to pick you up when you fall over. The primal aggression exhibited when it went ballistic in SIII and froze a huge land mass. O well... |

Well, I'll keep it real. In the battlefield I have only made Lighting elemental spells, therefore Im pretty sure I have a low level Lightning rune (or was it the lower one the Thunder rune?)
Anyway, I have whatever Rune Synchysi, Sars Ad-Minh, Jeremy, or anyone who writes the warbattles wishes me to have.
Oh, but what Im sure off is that its sticked on the left hand... I think. _________________ DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! |

Well for one thing I don't plan on being leval 8 forever and if some one wants to figure out exactly how many runeslot everyboard member should have I don't care if someone posts three rune slots or not. And the Idea wasn't just to say "OH, I got Rage Rune Cause I are KOOL!!" I though that explaining why you chose these runes over other rune and how you used them would be fun. It's not like I go starting new topics every time by brain clicks.
I agree that people should stick with known suikoden runes unless you are Sars cause when you are Sars you ARE suikoden. _________________ Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

Blackwind, I think you misunderstood the point. The point of these members kind of threads is to give depth to your character. There would be no point in creating a regiment post about your army of magicians if your unit is archer's unit. The same goes to here. Though I know that you're not planning to be at level 8 forever, you are level 8 at the moment. So it would be more realistic if your rune slot etc reflects to your current state.
Acheron88, I don't mind if it's just one or two created runes, but if it's okay with you, then others would follow your footsteps and created their own runes as well. In the end, it'd snowball and many people would end up with created runes that it'd be weird and no longer connected to Suikoden. _________________
