Sem Equites - Idea Gathering

[clashofdemonesense]

Hello guys! Not Guude here! If you're involved in the Sem Equites story, as a character or just want to throw out ideas or something, read this! If not, nothing to see here. Just gathering ideas.

Edit: We're at over 300 comments now! Ermahgerd! New Record!

Edit #2: Over 400 now! Do we get funding to make the cookie hot pocket machine a real thing now?

Edit #3: 500 Comments now. I think we have enough text to create a bomb and use it rule the Salad with it's wordy goodness!

Edit #4: Now at 600 comments. Just a few more and the world will be ours! ... Wait this isn't the right chat for that! Also, comment if you want to see r7 as a multi-colored robot forever!

Edit #5: Wow. More and more... If this hits 1000, I don't even know. Maybe we'll make a movie out of this. But really 700? Crazy!

Edit #6: Now it's 800! Comment if you want r7 to have disco dancing capabilities, confetti cannons and light up like a disco ball!

Edit #7: 900! And now a message from Seven! "Okay! Okay! Clash has already convinced me to keep the candy-color for two weeks, and I’ll throw everyone a disco dance/laser show thing at base! Okay? Is everyone happy now?"

And no, I am not happy. I want more time, but you're just so stubborn. Everyone comment about it!

Edit #8: Guys! 1000 Comments!? Amazing! Now, go read Goose's ficklest about Seven's disco laser show! Warning: there will be feels



So, I was... persuaded (but not really. I volunteered as tribute) to write some backstories for everyone. So, I'll take notes of what everyone wants, but only to a certain degree. I don't want you to basically write it yourself (unless you want to). So, in the comments, tell me the basic outline of how you want me to do your backstory and include these three important things:

1. Age. What time period were you born in, making you however old you are in the storyline (time isn't the same, so you can be from whatever era in time you want. Oriental Japan, Medieval Europe, Ancient Egypt or Greece, anything!)

2. What happened to get you here. What were your early days like? Only put the major events down. Leave the small detail work to me.

3. How did you get recruited into the group for the current storyline? Again, major details only. Maybe who got you to join. Give me a reason you joined. Maybe a Mindcracker's influence? (Don't worry. If you're in a different time period, I can get at least one of the Mindcrackers to be there too)

So, without further ado, get those comments rolling in!

I am the author of Sem Equites and I approve of this post.

[clashofdemonesense]

Woo! Official approval. Look out guys. Soon I'll get a whole branding segment and start up a cool business. We'll have t-shirts and purses and key chains and it'll be amazing! Or not. I'm not rich.

And my words cannot be used against me in the court of law by any member of the Salad or the associates of any Salad members. (If you don't care, disregard this portion of the message)

[gottaloverattatta]

Age= 23, lived in the rebellion in Ireland until age 7. Then a farm in the Midwest of the states.

Major events= Pa died to a petrol bomb, Ma moved us to a farm in the states, toiled on the farm learning to shoot a bow, begins to mess with fireworks for entertainment.

Why the joining= A peculiar Zombie (Zombineer) showed up on the farm. Asked to him to join. Chose not to. Ma dies to a drunk driver. After some mourning, find the Zombie and join.

Hope that's alright. I like the idea! :3

[clashofdemonesense]

I like it too! I totally read that and thought it was real for like five seconds and got really confused and sad.

Then I realized that I'm an idiot.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, my character is Luke, figured I should probably tell you.

1. 17, I was born during Medieval Europe.

2. When I was 6 my father, under the stress of upholding my family, snapped and killed my mother. I ran as far as I could and found a cabin in the forest, in which I was granted immortality. (I'll leave the details to you)

3. I was found in a bar drunk and senseless, in the midst of a bar fight Shawn came and discovered my fighting ability. He requested I join, and I thought to myself that maybe, just maybe, I could meet Team Canada.

[clashofdemonesense]

Cool. Welcome aboard the throwback train. Next stop, everyone's past.

[thezombineer]

Guess I should make one too... hmm

Age: 25, not including the time spent as a zombie. 126 including it. Born in ancient Germany (like, vikings and norse myths period.)

Major events: at the age of ten, a witch placed a curse on me. This curse caused me to walk the earth forever, becoming a zombie after death. At the age of 16, vechs recruited me to help him build his dungeons, seeing my skill in engineering. At 25, while working on nightmare realm, I feel into a deep pit, dying before I knew what happened. Subsequently became a zombie. Left Vechs' service shortly afterwards to begin looking for a counter curse.

Joiningness: Found the Salad on the quest for a counter curse. Decided that if I could hang with people like salad, maybe immortality wasn't too bad. Formed the Sem Equites after Etho vanished.

[thezombineer]

By immortality, I mean never aging, unable to die willingly.

So, can't jump off a ledge, can't get a disease to kill me, no friendly fire, no old age, etc.

[clashofdemonesense]

There's like 5 people here, and already so many comments. My inbox is full of everything now. If everyone was here... Oh geez. That would not be conducive to my sanity.

[thezombineer]

I've had around 50 in my inbox constantly since I posted SE chap 2. So I know the feel.

[yuna_dragneel23]

Age: 25.. From Japan.. And an orphan..

You could take care of my backstory and stuff because imma be a lazy Yuna:3

And im @ school 2

[clashofdemonesense]

Okey dokey Yuna! But, I will be making full use of my creative license. Or at least as much as r7 will allow me to.

[im_darkside]

Age: 13
Was hunted down because I was from a fallen chinese royal family. Ran through a forest with a knife in my shoulder blade, couldn't defend myself because I only had a bow. Fainted from blood loss near the portal. (This is basically what had happened to me irl. I was 7 when that happened.)


And yay, I actually logged in this time!

[r7]

Wow, ouch. I'm going to assume the reasoning bit isn't real, but that's just cruel.

Just to confirm, You are 13 at time of the story, were chased away at 7 in the story(as well as real life)?

Also, well done on the logging in! it makes thing so much easier.

[goose267]

hi... umm.... yeah... here... *hands over form thingy*

1. birth place is rome back in 320 ad. age mid to early twenties.

2. was from California before joining group. doesn't talk about but legs are covered in long thin scars. (btw is extremely cheerful and happy all the time personality wise)

3. just showed up one day. rumored that Nebris recruited her

just suggestions its your story,

Goose

[clashofdemonesense]

Cool. But...

You're from Rome, but live in Cali, and are twenty years old? My brain is confused by this information. Any chance an explanation could be given?

[lindy14]

1/2) 24 born around 1650s in Europe, When I was 10 I ran away from home and stowed away aboard a ship (merchant or pirate it's up to you). Learnt the ropes and how to fight. Fell overboard when I was 15 and washed up somewhere (your choice), made a living wherever I ended up, then something horrible happens and pushes me towards joining the group.

3 is up to you guys no preference.

Never thought of back story so hopefully this is good.

[clashofdemonesense]

I like it! Welcome to the backstory train, where we have crazy conversations and cool things get written to help explain things.

[clashofdemonesense]

More pyromaniacs! Come join in the fun with me and rattata so we can do our fiery fun together at some point!

[chemrepnacl]

Is this like, the back story I'm supposed to create for my character Salt?

[clashofdemonesense]

Pretty much, yeah. Basically you just put in some info to help us get an idea of how you want your backstory to be, and then we can write it

You don't have to create it if you don't want to. r7 and I are fine doing everyone's for them.
But if you wanted to write it yourself, could you send either me or r7 a link to the story so we can put in our big list of backstories that we have?

Was this even remotely explanatory?

[clashofdemonesense]

Cool backstory guy! And I think people are getting confused about the second one, so it's not just you. It's supposed to be what happened to your character, not necessarily what happened to you IRL (or am I missing something?)

[r7]

Dear God, 200 comments! Hey, uhh, modly people, have we broken a record or something?.....

[clashofdemonesense]

Probably. And counting.

[hidgerknight]

This is a Re-Done of my Preferences.

Age: 34, Post-Medieval Europe.
History: Was a Known Thaumaturgist and a Master Blood Magist, still focusing on Artifice.
Recuitment: Trying to find a Pure Vis Well (If you use the mod Thaumcraft, you'll probably understand this.) and found where it's at, exactly at the Military Base. Then i got in, found the Zombie that keeps the list of Troopers, and signed in, with an agreement of making magic supplies such as Thaumic Weapons or Blood Armor and or other extra utilities for them.

[r7]

Thank you! This is so much better! I can't wait to make this into a story!

[elektron124]

Age: nobody knows. I forgot.
History(oh look his story): born 2017 when books are all on teh internets and accidentally electrocuted 5 people in a pool. Stole tazer. Was found by(let's see...)Sethbling. Sent to Shawn.

P.s. I forgot to add that mind control won't work on me because of all the static. Also why brain is frazzled.

[r7]

Okay then, me and clash i'll make you something that is older than 18 but younger than 40.... Thats what the description of your character will say.

Okay. Do you want the killings to have all of the feels, be in denial, just nor care, or something else?

P.S. Reply: Okay, good to know, though you may want to also post it as a reply to your characters description on the sign-up page as well. I'm not sure if me and clash will be able to works this into your Backstory.

-Eclipse

[ajrainbowz]

Well, Ive already got my backstory, and ill be writin it down soon, but I kinda wanna see what you guys come up with. So Ill fill this out anyway.


1. Looks to be about 19. Age unknown. 'Born' some time around 50 BC.

2.[The text here seems to have been scribbled out with a black marker]

3. Was found sleeping in a tree with an arrow stuck in her shoulder, taken in by the group, joined after an unusually quick recovery.

[r7]

Err, when were you found? Like 70BC? or later? I just want to clarify.

Oooh, no backround. Alright, I guess the story'll start when we find you in a tree.

Hey clash, d'you think this looks like one we should pick up?

[kappa77]

1. 16 years old, Colonial America

2. Entered the army (American-side) disguised as a man. Got high up in the ranks, but eventually was found out (Disney's Mulan style, I guess?). She ran away the night before they were going to execute her (I assume that's the punishment)

3. After a couple days of wandering in the wilderness (couldn't go back to parents, too much shame), came across Native American's land. She tried to quietly slip away, but was found out by one of them , Pause. Instead of killing her, Pause gave her food, water, and directions to a group of people that would help her, saying that he was about to join them too. She followed them and eventually found them.

[clashofdemonesense]

Nice. Finally getting more people in this. Welcome to our crazy train. Next stop, slightly less insanity than last night.

[thezombineer]

Geez at all the comments. I love where this is going though!

Sorry Clash. Sorry r7. I didn't know it would become such a huge deal. Thanks for doing it though!

So, I guess I should write chapter three, huh? And four of TTTS. Meh. Later.

[clashofdemonesense]

It's just one of those days I guess. Getting around to doing things is just too hard right now.

And as for it being a huge deal, I agree. I never expected to be swamped with comments until 2:30 AM last night. But It's pretty much over with now, so we're good!

[riverer]

Here are some details about my character River.

Age: I am of an unknown age, but I appear to be between 15-18. Due to memory loss, I don't remember where I am or how I got there.

What happened to get you here: No idea.

How did you get recruited into the group for the current storyline?:

After many were recruited, the salad come across a young girl looking confused. They find out that she has a strange memory loss that means she only ever remembers things vaguely. When asked where I come from, I talk vaguely about rolling hills, and trees with twisting roots. As the group debates over what to do with me, I warn them of something unforeseen about to go wrong, and the warning saves some lives, and they decide that I could be useful to the group... or something along those lines.

[clashofdemonesense]

Hallo! I saw that you're kinda new to the universe that we're in, so welcome to our utter chaos! Do you want to be a part of our sing-along? (In all seriousness, welcome and hope you enjoy the work we'll do for River.

(And I don't know which gender to write for you. Sorry :( You didn't put gender pronouns for your description, so I have no idea which one your character falls under.)

[mooshlovely]

Wow at the number of comments, look lke you guys have quite the task ahead of you.

I'm about 17 from medieval europe. I wasn't royalty just from a noble family. The kingdom was attacked and after barely winning the battle, I ran off to make sure all the attackers were dead. On the way I met a dragon who gave me my magical powers

I don't know about the last one. Maybe Nebris recruits me because he can sense the dragon magic or I stumble upon you guys.

Good Luck with this :D

[r7]

Cool. And being from a noble family is a cool too. Hmm, and now we come to the turning point (me and Clash/Zombi)... Dragon companion, or no dragon companion? I think that'd be kinda important for the backstory.

Yay! I get to write about dragons! Clash! ClashClashClashClashClash! Can I do the dragon part? Pweeease?

[lthomas224]

Hi! I'm Thomas! Here's my story-line!

Age: 19, born in the modern age.

Story: I lived in a large cotton farm until one day murderers came and killed most of my family, all except for me and my sister. He kidnapped my sister and left me to die. After three days Shawn came up and gave me food and water, and asked me to join. I did, thinking that maybe, just maybe, I could find my sister through the group.

Yep, that's all I got.

[clashofdemonesense]

Hallo! Glad you could join us on this crazy comment thread

[freezer7]

Sorry for being so late,

Freeze

Age: When the Europeans settled in now-a-day North America

Story: From Greenland, woke up the way she is, had a friend, friend died, that's why she's so bitter

[clashofdemonesense]

So, I heard something from a friend (blame r7)... Is there a thing in this universe between you and Ratta?

[attomic7kitten]

1. Looks 16, Born sometime during the 14th century in a small cat-people village in the Aztec empire.

2. At 10, A neighboring village launched a week long attack and was able to kill a large portion of my people, including my family. I immediately moved to Tenochtitlan and eventually worked as a priestess and medicine woman. When the Europeans came and wiped out the Aztecs, I snuck aboard a ship to escape from the dead city. I roamed the world until I ended up in Japan around 1552 and was adopted by the Iga clan who taught me the ninja ways. I stayed for a few years doing jobs for the clan and then continued my wandering

3. Aureylian and Vechs found me dead at the bottom of a ravine while caving and tried to bury me. I nearly scared them both to death when I started moving and asking questions halfway through. (Silly people, of course cats have nine lives!) They took me in and helped me recover. I found Aureylian and the other Mindcrackers endearing people, so I joined the group, vowing I would protect my friends with my remaining 5 lives

[r7]

Cool! Nine lives is awesome too. Also, I get you write Veylain! Unless Clash wants to write it... Clash?

Just to confirm, you are female, no? It would be bad to write the character the wrong gender.

r7's appearance

[goose267]

I vote that r7 turns back to normal, but occasionally glows with multicolored lights. Like a disco ball maybe even with music!!


Goose



{sorry r7 please don't hate me}

Re: r7's appearance

[r7]

That's doable, actually, 'cause I could already do that... I have to chose when I go disco-ball though.
