[@XSilentWingsX] Our characters would need other alleys and assets, spies, etc. So if further down the line someone wishes to tack on minor side roles, they're welcome to. A pure mage is fine by me, they're always stylish. In terms of a mage's place in the world, they're seen more 'equal' in Balka, whereas in Relle, the magical users are considered slightly 'holy' or esteemed. I'd say there's no religion in Balka, some may follow that in Relle but generally most in Balka consider themselves 'enlightened' in the sense that they don't cling to myths or prophets and use their time/energy more wisely. And when it comes to Balka blaming the rifts on Relle's worship of religion, it's more of a mockery, but it would certainly cause some to reconsider their views on [i]not[/i] practicing a religion. [@VitriolicQuill] And hello hello (again). It's so sad that roleplays downplay the aspect of romping around a forest and looking for things and helping lost travelers. I know it can be pushed to the side for action but exploration is a fine endeavor so I am hoping our group can have fun while staying interested/motivated. [@The Roman07] I would say the basic races (maybe minus the Qunari because they're not really needed) would still apply since this is also a fantasy tale. I would say racism would be pretty downplayed though (no 'knife ear' comments for example) as people are more looked upon for their skills than their ancestry/origins. Of course you can still have someone who dislikes or is made uncomfortable by a race but it just wouldn't be as common or as 'accepted to discriminate'. Does that make sense? There probably won't be Lyrium in the story, unless the majority want it. Not that I don't but I'm trying to select the least amount of clutter from DAI (to me that would be the Chantry, sorry Leliana! Among other technical details). In terms of power level, I should just consider skill level since we're not keeping stats or skills on too tight of a leash. I'd say they would be pretty good fighters considering they leaped into the fray without blinking an eye. Though with you on a phone and without a laptop, I do worry about you being able to crank out the expected amount. Not that it's impossible but...a good sized paragraph does look different depending if you're on a small screen or a normal one. ^^; And element aside, did you consider a stab-y sort of role or a character more into long distance archery or...? [@eloraczyr] In regards to you asking about the OOC, one will likely be made tomorrow afternoon or evening. [b]To All:[/b] Considering I have more possible writers than intended (better than fewer haha) I will accept side/advisory roles. They'd still be main characters and along for the ride and they can still have magical skills but they just wouldn't be closing rifts so hey, less of an occupational hazard. These "side/advisory" roles would have special connects to other allies/spies/resources etc. Thoughts guys?
