So this idea is simple, your pets can assist you in realms! The basic idea is that you could have a companion that you can keep with you that can either be leveled or have a base assist(this being passive or active). To make this fair, there could be an introduced "Companion Shipment"(This is a new crate that would have companions for you to obtain in realms.) In this crate, there would be a Rune of Companionship which would allow one of your pet cosmetics to be turned into a companion along with the other added Realms Companions. Here are some ideas:
----------------------------------------------------
Rabbit Pet
(Default Description)
This quick hopper makes you light on your feet!
Increases speed by X amount.
---------------------------
Snowman Pet
(Default Description)
Even though he's jolly, he sends chills down their spines!
When engaging an enemy, Snowman Pet sends out a chilling wave slowing target for X amount of seconds
Sends out a wave every 15 seconds
---------------------------
Vampire Bat
(Default Description)
This scary bat returns to you what has been stolen!
After killing an enemy, the Vampire Bat has a chance of healing you for X% of damage taken from target.
---------------------------
Dragon Pet
(Default Description)
You can see the fire in this winged beast's eyes!
When engaged in combat, the Dragon has a chance to light an enemy on fire for X seconds. After successfully igniting an enemy, it must cooldown for X seconds.
---------------------------
Here are some basic examples with current pets. With this suggestion you could even create different monsters only obtainable from Realms or other events. I put X for the times and percentages because these could potentially be leveled into greater beasts. Feel free to comment more pets and ideas below and thank you Chosen for the help! Whenever you post a pet idea make sure you put it in this layout and I'll add it up there!
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'll post my whole thing here and Zott might add it , but he doesn't have to because (sorry Zott) mine is different by a bit...
Chosen's Section!
FIRSTLY!
The Intro!
A new NPC would be added to the Lobby (as Lobby is probably the easiest to implement this into) outside near the garage. This NPC would be called "The BeastMaster" and would have a pet rat near him named "Joey" (Just for looks and for a few quests/training). All dialogue is up to Brass as I'm just suggesting the mechanics/implementation of Pets STRICTLY FOR REALMS AND LOBBY. When you talk to him you will recieve your first pet (Which is NOT a cosmetic) from a selection of four different pets, starter pets listed below with stats and the explanation to stats after.

Rat Pet

Model: Rat model implemented in the Event 1
Desc: No longer a Shitbox
Does what?: This pet will be structured completely on speed and is meant for players who'd rather quickly strike an enemy with their companion or to weaken them. The Pet Rat also can apply a debuff , after level 3, called "Irradiated Plague" that weakens an enemy by 1% of their current health every 2 ticks for X amount of time (Subject to change).

Stats:
HP-9
DF-1
SP-8
AT-4

Headcrab Pet

Model: Normal Headcrab from HL2 or Gmod, doesn't matter.
Desc: Do you wonder if it loves you or wants to kill you? Maybe Both.
Does What?: This pet is meant to be a damage dealing pet that can help players take enemies down with strength and some speed. At level 4 it unlocks a skill that randomly will activate called "Head Attack" where it attacks the enemy and stuns them for 3 ticks and deals 50% more damage then a normal attack, cooldown is X amount of time.

Stats:
HP-12
DF-3
SP-1
AT-6

Re-Animated Skeleton Pet

Model: Skeleton head from GMod
Desc: The Necromancer said this would be A-HEAD of schedule!
Does What?: This pet is meant to be a Debuff Pet that will help players take enemies down with 3 Different Debuffs it can apply ontop of its very weak normal attack. At level 1 it has "Rotten Breath" that sprays a noxious cloud dealing 1.5 Times more damage (from Attack stat) every 2 ticks for X amount of time. At level 2 it unlocks "Death's Glare" which stuns the enemy for X amount of time. At Level 4 it unlocks "Foot Chomp" which applies bleed on the enemy for 10 ticks at 2.2 Times more damage (from AT stat).

Stats:
HP-10
DF-0
SP-5
AT-2

Pot-essed Cactus Pet

Model: Uses the Potted Cactus Model
Desc: Sold by Cactus Incorporated. We really PRICK our Opponents!
Does What?: This pet is meant as a wildcard Pet that does interesting things and is for the Players who love RNG. At Level 1 it has "Poisoned Soil" which applies Poison on the enemy for 5 ticks at 1.25 times the attack stat. At level 2 it unlocks "Saguaro Stance" , this skill has a 50% chance of stunning your enemy for 5 ticks and applying a debuff that will deal 5% of their overall damage. At level 4 it unlocks "Cacterno" , this skill has a 20% chance to ignite the enemy for 6 seconds.

Stats:
HP-8
DF-2

Hey everyone, my name is Angry Moose! A few of you might know me already from another server, or saw me play last night. I've known about FRG for  a while now but have never really played, it was only recently that a friend of mine told me how cool a server FRG is. I decided to hop on and try it out, and let me tell you something boys and girls i was AMAZED! Honestly didnt know an item server could be so streamlined. And the people here, atleast in the brief time ive played, are really chill too!

Cant thank Mr. Cyan Spie enough for talking it up so much, hes probably the only readon I decided to try playing here!

Anyway, enough about the server. This is an introduction, so I should say some more about myself.  

I'm staff on NTG, and used to be an admin on TG (extra points if you remember that relic kiddos). I draw things for people if they ask nicely, and I like to think im not terrible at it. I'd like to get to know the FRG community better, so you'll probably see me on the forums or on the server from time to time . Basically just want to meet some new chill people to play with.  

Steam Name(Current): Bri

Age: 18

Current Rank: Member

Have you ever been banned and why: Karma and changing name in-game. (and karma ban was just a lot of misunderstood rdm trains and calls, TTT is a little crazy late nights)

Why would you like to be promoted?: After taking a LITTLE break from the server I am refreshed and enjoying playing for long periods at a time. Of course there will always be rdmers online when no +mem is on, but I would also like to help the other staff so they won't get flooded by reports.

Why do you think we should promote you?: Any past bad habits on TTT have now been fixed, I follow the rules, I am not obnoxious or annoying, and I am friendly to everyone that joins the server. I have no specific enemies and I do not hold grudges. I can handle the responsibility of dealing with reports without abusing it.

Do you have any administrative experience:
(CS:GO) SCA Minigames: Level II Admin aka Super Admin
(GMOD) TBC DarkRP: Moderator, not anymore. (if u have question why pls pm)
(CS:GO) SCA Course & BHOP: Level I Admin

Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): Yes
(By agreeing above you are agreeing that you understand you are not entitled to said promotion, and that we have all rights to deny or approve the application
for any reason we see fit, you agree to not stir up any trouble if the application outcome is not your desired outcome.Failing to abide by this can result in a full demote, or perma-denial.)

Additional Details: I have been member for 11 months now, and I'm ready for an upgrade.
If you have a personal grudge against me please tell me. If I get +member I want a fresh start with anyone that has a problem with me.
P.S. I am a Survive God.

Age: 18

Steam Name(Current): amac

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): 400

Where did you hear about this server?: I've known about this server since it was created. (NTG)

Have you ever been banned and why?: Yes, a 2 week ban for racism.

Why do you want to join?: I know pretty much everyone in the community, and I know the rules as well. I'm a very active player on the server, and I feel like I've been around long enough to become part of this community.

Referred by: N/A

Additional Details: I've been around a while, and I think it's about time I make one of these.
Please give me your honest feedback!
(also, has anyone seen my dad?)

We've had this discussion long ago and it seemed just about everyone did not like the idea of having them, that is, ones not already included with GMOD/Css.

However, while experimenting around awhile back, I've managed to come up with a method of rendering Clientside Player models. That means I can allow users to toggle 'custom player models' at will. It also means any custom player models will not change any hitboxes at all (most usually don't anyways), however, some models do infact need bigger hitboxes. (I'd most likely avoid those)

With that in mind, would any of you like to see any special player models? I'm not talking about adding one big ass pack of player models and have everyone run around as anime characters and what not, but 'special' player models that are fairly uncommon. These could be disabled via f1>settings if it's getting in the way of your gameplay.

Now keep in mind, this MAY never come to pass. This system is highly experimental and would need a lot of testing before I actually officially keep it. I may run some live tests with it sometime soon just to see, but if no one would like any of these I doubt I will continue work on it.

I will NOT allow users to disable default GMOD/CSS/HL2 models though, only ones you need to download upon server join.

I was recently thinking about the Easter update that may or may not be coming, and I thought of a good idea (IMO).

Background Info
If any of you know the game series Spyro, you may know what I'm talking about. In the Spyro game series there is a antagonist character, he is known as the Thief in the game. He took all the eggs from the dragon kingdom and is trying to keep the eggs from Spyro and the rest of the dragons.

How this will go into FRG Lobby
In the Lobby there will be a Spyro NPC there waiting for you to get the quest. He will say "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! Oh, Hello Stranger of this world. I am Spyro from the dragon kingdom. I saw one of the thieves come to this world with an egg! I need those eggs to bring back to my kingdom! Could you be a kind being and find him for me?" Then you Accept the quest.

How this will work in the TTT Server
The thieve will be making a noise that is similar to the one in the Spyro game and it will help you find him on the map. When you get close to him he will run away and only stay on land and not go on props. (IF, he encounters a ladder he will teleport on to the bottom of the ladder and keep going) He will stay on a pattern path so that you can easily figure out your next move on him. The thieve will be client side and you will be able to collide with him so you can grab him. The thieve will then disappear and you will have to wait till next round to get him again. I think you should have to get 25 eggs from the thieves (1 egg per thief) and then turn it in for 5 easter eggs or an easter egg basket which contain a random amount of eggs when opened ranging from 7 - 15 eggs. (Edit: For the final prize from the Easter Egg Hunt maybe we could get a sparx follower kind of like a navi. I don't have a player model atm, but I will get one after school)

Spyro Thief Taunting Noise:

So I was thinking last night how we have the rune of power that gives you a temp godlike for a few hours
and it gave me a brilliant idea that doubles as a coin sink

TEMPORARY LOADOUTS

How will it work?

I've thought of 2 ways it could possibly work and both of them require the user to be able to go to lobby
(Both ways also will have a person/machine that this will come from)

Way #1

User talks to person / interacts with machine and is given an option to pay X amount of coins or Z amount of rubies for a temporary loadout.
(The coin price will scale every X levels ruby price could be constant)

Every time you use it you have a guarantee of 1 godlike/celestial/primordial
The other weapons will be totally random and based on your level.


Way #2


The user talks to the person / interacts with the machine and they are presented with X number of tiers of loadouts
where the tier reflects the current gun rarities (negating the 3 lowest tiers because nobody wants a common/uncommon/ordinary loadout)

Each tier could be level capped if wanted and would cost X amount of coins or Z amount of rubies


How "Temporary" are we talking?

I'm thinking it should be anywhere from a day to a week or provide a slider that affects the final price of the tier choice


That's all I've got, any feedback or other suggestions that build on this would be tremendous!

Name of staff you were banned by: Brassx

Length of the ban: Permanent IP Ban.

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: Either one.

Reason for ban: "Had a chance to be mature about the demotion. Instead decided to be immature. No longer welcome here." There are numerous reasons, ranging from in-server harassment of specific players to the harassment of the entire community.

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: I did.

What really happened?: I had been on my last warning as a staff member due to numerous instances of drama that I had initiated with players such as NotChosen and Tobiasx, and I continued to harass them in game until Brass decided it was time to demote me. I had an incredibly immature reaction to my demotion and freaked out at the entire server, insulting people who were my friends, and pretty much went on a massive trantrum until Brass and the rest of the server had enough of it and banned me. Even after that, I continued to harass Brass and others on the server for around a month until legal action was threatened, which is when I stopped.

Additional details: There are no words to describe the amount of regret that I hold for my actions here in mid-2016. None of the people that I treated terribly deserved it, and I allowed my own mental health to affect my behaviour on the server. I never, ever should have done the things that I did back then, and if I could I would change it all and go back, but obviously I cannot. However, I truly believe that in the 8 months it has been since I was banned, and the 3 months it has been since my last appeal, I have grown tremendously as a person both in maturity and respect for the people around me. I understand that a lot of you who know me from the time I was banned do not ever want to see me back on the server, but I honestly do believe that I am a much better person and I would do anything to get the chance to prove it to you guys and redeem myself.

I know how unlikely it is that my ban will be removed, or even reduced, but if you guys have any hope at all that I changed, please give me a chance to show it. I really miss this community.

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to add me on steam or PM me or something, I really want to be as open as I can.

Steam Name(Current): Razzation's my name.

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): I've clocked 53 hours in the TTT server,

Where did you hear about this server?: And I came across it in a random search, which sounds kind of lame.

Have you ever been banned and why?: I've been banned once. I changed my name mid round.

Why do you want to join?: I want to join the community, because I don't want to just "play around". I want to commit, and I want to have fun. But I don't want to be just a random someone. I want to be known, someone who people place trust in. I want people to be proud to say "Razzation? Yeah, I know him."

Referred by: Wolfpac my friend, he took me in. He gave me guns when I first began.
He explained the oddities, the ins, the outs. He showed me what the server was all about. He showed me the server was worth commiting to. And if that wasn't enough, he allowed me to use him as a referral too.

Additional Details: I love poetry, and I enjoy chess. I love gaming in general, though I'm not the best. I'm a musician at heart, and an adult in my mind. I can be a work of art, and I always try to be kind. TTT's always been my favorite mod, and this server tops all others like a god. I work hard, and I try to be just. Better yet, it'll take many years for my bones to rust. I'll stay on the server for a great time to come, and I believe it's a better person that I'll become. Even if this application's denied, I hope you enjoyed reading this, and with me, become allied.
