Reply with quote

First off, is there a Darju guru or will there be?

I just wanted to get some ideas on others outlook for the persona of the Darju. Dragoon and I seem to agree that they have similarities to the Prydaens in DR. Brash, outcastish. However, I think they don't really care about anything but themselves. #1 is their utmost concern, themselves. #2 mates and children. #3 friends and finally #4 other Darju. It is mentioned that emotional ties are considered a sign of weakness.

So basically, the Grinch on steroids and without the dog. Can't have any emotional ties and a pet is still a pet however you treat it. Twisted Evil Guiltless and no sign of compassion, no consceince, colder than the coldest. Introverts around anyone but other Darju, and then only interact to show off and boast. So if ya have noticed my tude around here, it's just me findin myself.

I'm not sure if there will be race guru's or not, but I concider Darju to be very similer to klingons RPwise.

There aren't race gurus right now, no. Darju come in all flavors like anything else, but they tend to be aggressive, lacking compassion and sensitivity, but this is not the case with all Darju.

They do have some semblance of loyalty to their family, comrades and the race itself, but their pride and their aggressive nature tend to make them fend for themselves much more often than not. However, this isn't to say Darju are all cold-blooded killers, some are, some are just more selfish and self-oriented than your average Human, and some are actually fairly friendly though they may still harbor some selfish impulses.

I think the best way to describe your average Darju is hot-headed, short-tempered, and full of pride. In many ways they act like your typical macho male. If you find yourself being generally shunned and disliked by society at large, you can see why the Darju are the black sheep race of Haelrahv, having the hardest time fitting in with society and rarely trusted or respected.

Yep, that sounds like me. Course, who would trust someone that would permanenetly dot you because you say something he doesn't like to hear.
What's really gonna be interesting is to see how the female Darju's are RP'd.

Well...during one season of the year it sounds like they will all be chasing after the male Darju with the hairiest back. O_o

So there's a start!

Speaking purely on the stats and roll-play of the situation, rather than the role-play...

The ups:

- Good health and strength, as well as agility, giving you an edge
defensively.

- Regeneration.


The downs:

- Reduced mentality (only +1 cost tho, not -too- bad) which is the core stat for psionics.

- Reduced charisma which affects some psionic powers.

- Reduced focus, this may be the largest concern.


Any race / profession combo is viable in Haelrahv. Some will require special handling and extra thought, however. On the whole, Darju are slightly more viable as mages than psionics, but both are trades that few Darju tend to fall into. Darju is a somewhat poor race for the Psionic class in general, but if played right, they are just as viable and certainly unique.


Speaking on the role-play of the situation...

Darju rarely take up the magical or psionic arts, but there are always exceptions. These exceptions make for some very fun opportunities to RP. Smile

I felt like I should read this forum. Interesting that I'm following Kels around cyberspace.. ((it's your evil sister Jastima. Wink ))

I started playing Haelrahv 3 days ago, and breaking out of the norm of elves and halflings (in just about EVERY game out there), I love the Darju race. Smile

Oh, and since the men have back-hair (err.. 'manes'.. you'd be hard-pressed to tell an Italian man he has a 'back-mane'), do the stripes/spots/what-have-you signify anything for the females? Or is it just purely for show?

Just somethin' I've been wondering.

They don't really have any special significance as far as shape or size, though generally the darker markings are considered more attractive by other Darju.
