Speaking of circuses, I just remembered the JESTER CLASS! Or whatever it was going to be called. Acrobat? I don't remember!
But I totally want to make that!
Someone do a model! And one for a werewolf!

Also, I thought of names:
Icarus
Hermes
(we can turn those into common nouns, right? Razz

)
Guardian
Messenger

I'm partial to "Messenger," myself. It's simple, but... It sounds angelic. But not too powerful or anything.

Whoah, you are?! Cool!
Do the peasants have pitchforks and torches? If not, they should!
Wiping out a crazy mob could be pretty fun. Twisted Evil

I'll put torches to them... But didn't you read that they won't attack? And even the player can't attack, so...

Thanks, Zefz. Now they attack to the player and are MAD. With torches. But the guards... I done the same things to them, but they are still coughing and saying: "Be careful" If I go to talk to them... Does that matter so much? The guards are just guards... What do you think, Zefz and Purple? And do you know is it possible to make Bishopia city dark, like it would be night? Do you know, or would it even be night? Vampyre is Purple's character, so I would like to know his comment. How does it look? Here are some pictures:

You should make it "indoors" so there's no natural lighting.
Also, maybe a few of the people can have colorful clothing like that, like community leaders of some kind, but most should just be wearing browns and grays.
Here's a list of random naming stuff for the Vampyre:

I made the naming list like this earlier today:

:Vla
:Sha
:Dra
:Bla
:STOP

:dula
:cula
:hula
:runa
:STOP

Vladimir is actually a pretty common first name. But sure! You never know who might actually be a vampire.
Another one in there is a contraction of the name of Dracula's author. Takes one to know one, right?

I kind of like how mine works better, but if you want you can rework yours (so the prefixes end with consonants and the suffixes start with vowels) and add them, right?

I can't wait for the Vampyre starter! When do you think you'll be finished?

And anyway, there's some kind of setting to make the module indoors so there's no natural lighting.

Well, I am finished, just a boss left... And it says: "Script Error" but I think it doesn't matter when it works goodly. Does it matter you? What could be a good boss?

Just so you know, you're supposed to say "well" and not "goodly." Smile

Anyway, I don't know that it needs a boss, exactly. Maybe just a bunch of peasants, and when you kill them all, you win?
Also, does someone have the World Map module? We can take a palace from there, reskin it, and set the size to something pretty big, to represent the Vampyre's castle (the starting point).

And you should take care of that "script error" thing; maybe have someone look at it when you're done with everything else.

There are about 100 peasants... It takes a while to kill all of them... And I put the script here hidden, because it is big. Peasant's script...

AttackTarget, AttackMadly and Attack don't exist. Also, you'll want to insert a "SetTargetToWhoeverAttacked" after the "IfAttacked" (I'm not even sure if "IfAttacked" exists).
