Legends of Ophelius (Latest update: 6.3.2018)

I was going to suggest a paladin for the other RO. Specializes in defense and healing.

But you already decided wizard so, bleep. Oh well.

Thank you for your feedback!

I’ll ask a native to be my editor. ^^

Since you were known as the greatest archer or two-weapon styled rouge; - there’s no option for charisma in the character creator!

However, you’ll be able to build up your charisma and/or inteligence in the origin story which I’m currently working on!

Also, there will be two more characters you can romance that won’t be gender locked. One is a female battle strategist, and for the second, my initial idea was a male wizard but I think non binary or gender fluid would be great! Since all of my other romancable characters so far are either male or female, and it feels a bit unfair.

May have to even add in a third new romancable character. But i’ll have to make sure it won’t ‘crowd’ the story too much.

I googled ‘RO’ but an unsure still. Did you mean the opposite army? Or your warrior’s specialization?

Paladins - or something very similar to them, with a different name - will be in the story (Probably, can’t say it with a 100, since i’m still juggling this idea.). But probably won’t be pickable, because of the following (main) reasons: They would have a very different background: Like priests, they can’t get married (as the warrior did) or have children. They are stationed at the keep from an early age, they’ve taken their vows, and most importantly - they were taught to follow the ways of the god to the letter. Which would mean i’d have to add in special dialoge just for them. That’s my current version of paladins or (similar name) anyhow.

But either way, I’ll probably avoid adding them then as playable since it messes with a lot of other stuff as well.

If you meant the opposing army by any chance though…: Can’t happen. The saints’ (no pun) council (selective priests and priestesses) run Ophelius. Or rather, the high priestess (Mairi) does. Paladins rely somewhat on magic, it’s true, but they rely on holy magic which is mostly (if not all) defenses and enhancements. They have been (as I stated above) taught to follow their betters, and not make any trouble…Why would they pray on something that is so strong, yet undyingly loyal to them? It may be a bit hypocritical of them, since they are only blaming the other magic half, but …that’s life + something more reasonable which contains possible spoilers.

Hope this answers your question!

I think they meant was another potential romance option.

Changing the not gender-locked male to nb, would mean that gay male rogues would still have no options, and considering that there is already a not gender-locked female before adding the second one, that seems a bit unfair. :slightly_frowning_face:

It would be nice with a nb option, though, and I understand not wanting too many characters.

Ah, I see. Hopefully, there will be room for more. :slight_smile:

I already considered a non binary wizard, and a male paladin (paladin possibly going by another name). Not being gender locked.

Along with the female battle strategist, and Savanna is already not gender locked.

I just hope they’ll all fit in, and not make the story a mess. If I notice there are actually too few characters however, I’ll add in even more! (Though, I doubt there will be too few, unfortunately. But we’ll see!)

Also, this is the first of the series. The second one “The Old Gods” will feature some newly introduced characters, and romance options. Now, I realize it may be a bit of a long wait until that comes out, but it’s something to consider still!

It’s a story of war, with love flavors (for those who want them). To give you an idea of my story, you may look at Troy (2004) , my favorite movie, which somewhat inspired me for it when I first wrote Legends of Ophelius as a book, and not an RPG.

The ending Troy quote fits the characters (including your PC) very well : These names will never die.

You play a warrior/rouge who’s on their way to becoming a legend. They’ll have glory in war, but peace in love (if you pick so)…sorry, rambling!

I hope you don’t get too overwhelm with too many ROs and other support characters. I may not be an author but as a reader if there are too many ROs there might be a chance that some of them might get underdeveloped, which would isolate your other readers.

That’s a possibility I’ll do my best to avoid. :slight_smile:

It’s also why I’m not too certain I want to add too many.

Update: Continuing origin stories atm, along with adding in some cool new features, so I may not respond to you guys for a while. Thank you for commenting either way, and I’ll get to you shorty!

Since you’ll be doing a series, probably introduced the characters in first book (with some characters being romanceable) , while the other romanceable ROs on second or next few books?

I don’t know if if everyone appreciate a slow burn romance path though. :joy:

Most probably don’t lol. Though I may add in a new one (or more) in the second book anyways. :smiley:

I personally prefer the first theme NOT being romance. I prefer the main story is war, or similar, with none too explicit romance options. But that’s just me! And a lot of people would disagree probably, which is OK. :slight_smile:

In my RPG, romancing certain characters will be fairly obvious (and you’ll even get to chose to see a sex scene (not too detailed one though), or a fade-to-back (censored sex scene which would basically just suggest they had sex, but they player won’t see any sort of details.) Or , if the character is asexual (not aromantic), or even if they’re not (Up to you!), I already know i’ll add in an option to just cuddle with them through the night. Suggesting your relationship is (at least for now) purely romantic.

Thank you :hugs: :hugs:

Yeah. Romance Option. You could make them asexual. Ace romances are uncommon.

I realize this. And so far, I have planned in the later chapter your own PC can be (probably?) asexual if they chose a whole night cuddle instead of sex. And the character they’re with, will accept this, possibly meaning (for the playthrough at the very least) they asexual as well…

Though, since i already have so many (perhaps too many) romance options in mind, I probably won’t add one in, specifically stating they’re asexual. :confused:

I’d love to please everyone, but at the same time, I don’t want to make a mess of the story.

I apologize if my response was disappointing.

That’s a great idea since asexuals are not aromantics and aromantics are able to choose not to romance at all in the first place.

This is going to be nonbinary-extra-inclusive. :+1:
