I love it. We should fine tune the ranking system though, needs more posts for leveling up and maybe some people don't like "Demon"?

Hm, there should be a poll to decide what titles go for what. I'm fine with Demon, so I don't know.

I like the sound of this. I used to do a lot of roleplaying on forums ~10 years ago...and I'm a legally blind gamer, too! lol. I like the idea for stats, too, but I'm wondering...should we roll first to determine what kind of character we will make or make the character and then roll? It would be unfortunate to write up a heavily armored warrior with no constitution/strength, but a lot of intelligence for magic the player probably didn't plan on using lol.
I'm also curious if it will work out okay for stats without a set amount of allocatable points. It looks like it's turned out okay for everybody so far, but if an unfortunate player were to get 1s and 2s randomly for all of their stats while someone else got 5s/6s, it might not be fair/turn them off to it. I guess the level up system could eventually even out the randomness in your favor...if you happen to get a better roll the next time, anyway ;p
It looks like people will be going for certain character types/attack methods, so maybe instead of rolling a d6 for every stat at level ups, allow the user to choose 2-3 specific stats to increase to encourage an actual build? Otheriwse, you might end up with a really unintelligent, but high defense guy who was written as a mage, but ends up just soaking up damage lol. I think going with this could alleviate the concerns I just brought up, so long as people can stick it out to level up.

Good idea, Brent! Also, my apologies for not being more active. My mom's been busy with her doctoral dissertation, I'm also going to be away on vacation for about ten days starting tomorrow, so I won't be able to reply. I'll have my smart phone on me, but a touchscreen keyboard isn't very good for roleplay posts.

I'm definitely interesting in RPing, even if I'm definitely more of a casual Rper. I'm also interesting in seeing how stats will work once the system is finally laid out. I'm not a big fan of combat in terms of an RP forum, having seen it at it's worst...but I don't think it will be a huge issue especially if I end up playing a character that's a lover not a fighter, hahaha! Maybe an explorer who's drawn to the castle because it's there...like climbing K2 or Everest.

Oh absolutely, even combat confrontations can be solved without stats involved and without any rolling, as long as both parties agree on the outcome. That said, I look forward to playing with someone expressing that sort of mentality.

I've done Call of Cthulhu 1920's before and I've done D&D as well...this is kind of a slick fusion between the both. .

Ok, I know LBG will be back by next week but there's really nothing keeping us from starting story rping a meet-up of our character at the castle gate. I mean by the time he will be back, this project will have started a month ago, so I think it's understandable that I want to start soon enough since I'm not even that much interested to fight with stats anyway. Am I the only one feeling like rping now?

I think it's time I posted my character skeleton:
Name: Constanz Waites
Age: 40 (?)
Height: 5 feet, 9 inches
Weight: 130 lbs.
Appearance: With piercing blue eyes and silver-grey hair Constanz appears much older than he claims to be. However, his body carries the scars of an entire other lifetime lived in certain violence. His body is highly athletic, but the muscles beneath his skin stand out like the tormented roots of old trees. His face carries a distinctive set of scars which cascade down the left side of his features from hairline to jaw. They appear red and vivid as if freshly healed...or never healed correctly in the first place.
Equipment: Constanz possesses a striking and unique grey knee-length coat which bristles with pockets on every conceivable surface of the garment and carries with him an inconceivably large backpack. Whether it is through magical or alchemical means, or merely through an abundance of caution and experience he always seems to have the tools for any situation close at hand. His pants may have been grey at one point in their lifespan, but have been stitched with many colors of thread and patched repeatedly due to excessive wear. His shirt is drab and nondescript and it almost seems as if his entire wardrobe was designed to make him disappear into the crowd and render him as unremarkable as possible. This lends itself well to his vagrant lifestyle as he wanders from one town to the next with seemingly no destination in in mind.
Personality: Constanz is driven largely by curiosity. His keen academic mind seeks to understand all that his senses present to him and he commits himself to his studies with almost maniacal glee. Somewhat imbalanced mentally he is prone to fits of both intense melancholy and seething rage at a moment's notice. He may vacillate from pleasant conversation to the cold and calculated vivisection of a corpse which little to no transition in between. Despite this he does not appear to be confrontational, preferring to avoid combat with the men and women he encounters within the castle walls. Somehow he has survived the monsters of the castle, but when asked falls eerily silent. There will eternally be more to this man than what lies upon the surface.
Reason for Entering the Castle: When the castle appeared Constanz immediately felt drawn to it. Curiosity compels him to plumb it's strange depths, investigate the creatures that lay within it's walls, and catalog the strange encounters with both friend and foe, knowing that the castle will draw many people who live the same transient lifestyle as he. Flying in the face of the dangers he knows must lurk inside the castle he seeks to explore it's every nook and cranny to his own personal sense of satisfaction.

Well underneath the meat and clothing he really is a skeleton! Hahahah, I could always play a Castevania skeleton who is wandering around looking for a new castle to haunt. His deadliest weapon is his infinite rib bones!

Sounds cool. Funny enough, back on the last forum I spent my days on, I had dedicated a huge amount of time just to create a castlevania RP. It was very fleshed out to the point where I had music for every area of the rp, what the endings would be and how to get them, the many different character customizations I had. Basically a second Harmony of Despair (plz Konami I will blow over 300 hours to grind on another HD).
So yeah. I will go ahead and put up a character sheet sometime later. And I will put myself on hold for the canon characters. Not specifically looking to rp as them, but will if needed as in no one else wants to.

Apologies for not responding sooner. I was exhausted when I got back home from vacation, and it takes me longer to get my energy back. As soon as we have LuckPercentSRL's character sheet. I'll start the main thread. Now, I've thought of a slight modification for the stat system. For the stats where you roll a d6, you can roll the dice first, then decide which roll goes with each stat for personalization, instead of the first roll always representing strength. As for stat bonuses, each main stat goes up by one when you level up. Additionally, you can roll a d6, then add the number of your roll to one stat for further customization of your character, sort of like in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Sorry for not posting my character sheet yet. I've been busy getting the Gateway Thread up at general discussion for some time as well as playing Terraria with some of the peoples here. Hopefully tonight, I can get this and Sunraiser's sample post done. (SO MUCH STUFF AND ITS NOT EVEN SO MUCH.)
So I'll not double post, I'll just edit this post with my character sheet. Check back later.
