Before I start this thread let me say that I am not attempting to stifle anyone's creativity this is to help those who need a little push to let out their creativity. As suggested by GM kiwi bird in the main forums I will be posting jobs that are needed in the RP these jobs are not meant to be binding you can stop whatever and do whatever you want wherever. I'll make the first post to get the ideas rolling.

Villain fighting against the main party of arkhunters. Such as maybe a high ranking officer or even the leader of the dark matter.

I know Kiwi suggested the idea of specialist job needs, and certainly the RL RP games (a contradiction in terms maybe?) like D&D have gone that way, with trying to have specialist classes and a well-balanced party, like having a warrior, a rogue, a wizard, and a cleric, but the old D&D I grew up with had the fun of everyone just playing what they wanted and adapting as needed. Sure we might have four warriors, but we carried a lot of healing potions and magic items, although we did set off a lot of traps! LOL!  I guess what I'm saying is whatever type of Ark Hunter you want to play, feel you can play it! That said, I LOVE the idea of guest villains if you have a story in mind, but also if you just want to get your feet wet, a recurring outlaw, soldier, survivalist or machinist is a great way to do it! Those basic occupations in the Defiance Video game (although they don't have much of an effect in it) are great foundations for a new RP player. Once you create him or he, we'll gladly find you a place on the team and a way to get "discovered"! Come on in, the waters fine!  |

I'm not sure I'll enjoy playing when a villain is a PC, especially if it involves direct fight with the PC. In fact, I'm sure I won't enjoy it at all. Temporary conflicts between PC which can be resolved one way or another are fine, but if I face a full-scale PvP fight I tend to kill off my characters before they could do any substantial damage to other PC.

I tend to agree Taffer. Which is why, even though it is very possible for something to trigger Atticus' evil side, I did introduce extra ways for the "good guys" to counter Atticus. Both lethal and non-lethal. Not to mention that at least some of the team has met his "mental" roommates, so if needed they could try to appeal to one of them to help fight Atticus from within. Good-luck, if you choose Kabule as your inside man though. LOL
That is also why he tries so hard to at least walk the on the edge, well that and an issue from the previous forum.

By my humble opinion, all specialized and limited classes have one tiny, but important technical flaw in our case. Let's assume that we face a trap which only experienced mechanic can disarm, but mechanic can't appear online during next few days. Nulla dies sine linea - not a day without a line. But without a mechanic, rest of people can't create that line.
And about having a PC villain - we have bunch of colourful and sophisticated NPC-s who can fill that niche quite well. But I think that we could use a merchant/shady dealer type, preferably a Liberata, because Irathients and Castithans are quite well represented. I haven't managed to create one, because my Europeans are complicated enough so I am not up for that challenge...yet.
